I liked this book because this book had many short storiesin one book. So, I can read many stories by borrowing one book.There was many intrestiong stories, but my most favorite story in thisbook that has 10 short stories was Mushi mezuru himegimi. This story was about girl who is 13 or 14 years old, so that time she was an adult, and she was very different from others. She didn't do a thing that she have to do, or women who became adult have to do. Instead, she was very intrested in bug and somecreepy things like boys do. When small boys comes to a girl to give bug that they catched, girlgive boys many moneys, so a boys were happy,but people whoworrk under agirl wasn't. One day, girl got a love letter. People who does workfortheir owner, a girl,advices to girl that she doesn't have to write reply for that. However, girl writea replyed. In this book, it says that there is 2nd book to talk about whathappens after that, but it doesn't exsist.
